The correct answer is A. Diphtheria.<\/p>\n
Triple antigen, also known as DTP or DPT, is a vaccine that protects against three diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). It is given to children as a series of shots, usually at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 15-18 months of age.<\/p>\n
Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection that can cause the throat to become inflamed and blocked. It can also cause the heart, kidneys, and nervous system to become damaged.<\/p>\n
Tetanus is a bacterial infection that causes painful muscle contractions. It can be fatal if not treated.<\/p>\n
Pertussis is a bacterial infection that causes severe coughing. It can be especially dangerous for infants, who can die from it.<\/p>\n
The triple antigen vaccine is very effective at preventing these diseases. It is important to make sure your child gets all of the recommended shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
